Quito appears to be very much on the upgrade and is the TEAMtalk selection to complete a hat-trick following convincing wins both over course and distance and at Southwell last time. David Chapman's charge had Geronimo behind on the former occasion and can confirm the placings despite being 13lb worse for a three-length beating. Francport is not as effective on this surface as he is on turf while Pips Song is not the force of old and may struggle off his current mark on his return to the all-weather.
